The trade deadline has come and gone and Hunter is back with another edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast with Jesse Marshall of The Athletic! NOTE: This is the live version that went onto the Youtube page earlier. They go into the breaking news right out of the gate as the team decided to trade for Rickard Rakell. Did the Penguins make the right move to trade for Rakell? They then get the breaking news of the return while recording, which always makes for something pretty damn fun. Jesse and Hunter both give their thoughts on the player before discussing he's worth the four assets that the team gave up. They then touch on where he slots into the lineup and what the fourth line should look like now that Simon and ZAR are gone. Finally, they get into how the Penguins stack up to the other teams in the Eastern Conference before wrapping up.
